Struggling Nets Come Out On Top Beating Sacramento 116-99

By Barbara Mason

Sunday evening the Sacramento Kings (19-57) and the Brooklyn Nets (18-57) clashed for the second time in a week. After beating the Nets in the first of the two, Brooklyn came out on top in game two in a 116-99 final.

Sacramento’s Devin Carter had the game high scoring 20 points with eight rebounds and four of the Sacramento starters finished in double figures. It was a disappointing loss after a more than disappointing season.

In Sunday’s game, the Kings will continue to be short-handed missing several players who were able to play last night against the Hawks. Malik Monk is out with a shoulder issue and DeMar DeRozan is suffering from a Hamstring injury. Russell Westbrook remains out and both he and Keegan Murray have possible returns on Wednesday April 1st.

Game recap: At the Barclay Center in Brooklyn the Kings had a rough start in the first quarter that persisted throughout the first half. After the first 12 minutes of play the Nets outplayed the Kings taking a 31-18 lead. Brooklyn continued to pour it on in the second quarter outscoring Sacramento 37-27 taking a huge lead going into halftime 68-45.

The Nets controlled both ends of the court leaving Sacramento reeling after two quarters. Brookly had forced nine King turnovers in the first half shutting down the Sacramento long game limiting Sacramento to 26.7 % from beyond the arc.

Sacramento got back on track in the third quarter outscoring the Nets 28-18 and took that momentum into the fourth quarter going on a 10-6 run. They cut the Brooklyn lead to 92-83 but it would come to an end there as the Nets finished off the Kings 116-99 putting an end to their ten game losing streak and extending the Sacramento losing streak to four in a row. The Nets outscored the Kings in the fourth quarter 30-26.

Four of the Kings starters scored in double figures. Carter had the game high scoring 20 points and eight rebounds. Nique Clifford finished with 17 points and seven rebounds. Precious Achiuwa had 16 points and Maxime Raynaud finished with 13 points and eight rebounds.

Some good play from the younger players as they continue to improve from the extended time on the court. This was the second matchup between these two teams in the past week giving Head Coach Doug Christie a good hard look at their young players.

Game notes: The Kings are down to the final countdown with only seven games left in the 2025-26 season. As much as any other team in the league the Kings came into the season full of promise, looking for a successful campaign.

What was to follow could not have been predicted as the team suffered a multitude of injuries throughout the entire season. It was devastating. Looking forward there are so many questions that of course lead with who will remain with the team going into the 2026-27 season.

There will be a shake-up without question and who will be the players that fill in the blanks. The Kings have seen a number of young players who have been more than impressive and they will no doubt play a huge role. Who will be drafted for the next season and what draft pick will the Kings be awarded.

Sunday the Kings played another team with much of the same questions, the Brooklyn Nets, who came into this game with a (18-57) record. Right now the Kings have the fourth worst record and will not take part in the lottery with the Pacers, the Nets and the Wizards in the three worst record slots right now. With a week’s worth of games still to be played this could change but this is where it stands right now.

The Kings will now travel to Toronto for a Wednesday evening matchup with the Raptors finishing off a five-game road trip before returning home to Golden 1. Tipoff for that game is scheduled for 5:00 PM.

Kings Bested By Yet Another Playoff Bound Team – Losing to Hawks 123-113

By Barbara Mason

The Sacramento Kings (19-56) had a great shot in their contest with the Atlanta Hawks (42-33) tying up the game in the fourth quarter after trailing for much of the game. The Kings just could not sustain the effort falling to the Hawks 123-113; DeMar DeRozan had the team high with 22 points and Maxime Raynaud had a double double, 18 points and 10 rebounds. Precious Achiuwa finished with 16 points and 6 rebounds.

Game recap: After the first 12 minutes of play the Kings led in this game 30-27. The Hawks turned the game around in the second quarter outscoring Sacramento 39-24 totally dominating the quarter taking a 66-54 lead at the half.

Sacramento would have a lot of work to do in the second half of this game. The largest lead of the game for the Hawks was 16 points but as the third quarter came to an end, Sacramento was only trailing by six points 88-82. The Kings Killian Hayes made some noise in the final two minutes of the quarter hitting a two-point jump shot followed by a 39-ft three pointer to close out the third.

After getting bounced around pretty badly for much of the game the Kings had put themselves in a great spot going into the fourth quarter only trailing by six points. Sacramento would need more from their starters. So far in this game the Kings were perfect from the line and had matched the Hawks from the field.

Four minutes into the final quarter the Kings had tied up this game at 97 mounting an impressive rally. The Hawks answered and within a couple minutes had pushed their lead back out to 105-97.

Atlanta had scored quickly and did not let-up for the remainder of the game. After having tied up the game the Kings found themselves trailing 111-99. With under five minutes left in the game, Sacramento was running out of time. The Hawks took back complete control and with 2 1/2 minutes left on the clock they had a 117-109 lead. For the remainder of the game Atlanta was locked in finishing off the Kings 123-113.

Three of the Hawks starters had scored 20+points in this game. Neikeil Alexander-Walker had the game high finishing with 27 points. Jalen Johnson had 26 points and CJ McCollum with 22 points. Every Atlanta starter had double figure in the game.

DeMar DeRozan had the team high for the Kings finishing with 22 points and 4 rebounds. Sacramento had three bench players in double digits. Daquan Jeffries had 15 points, Daeqwon Plowden 14 points and Killian Hayes 10 points. Plowden continues to really contribute off the bench.

Game notes: After losing a close game to the Orlando Magic Thursday night the Kings traveled to Atlanta for a matchup with yet another team in playoff position the Hawks. The Kings had Nique Clifford back on the court but Russell Westbrook was out with a toe injury with a possible return date of April 1st.

Keegan Murray has a projected return date of April 1st as well after a prolonged absence due to an ankle injury. Malik Monk started in place of Westbrook. The Hawks are missing some key players as well. Jonathan Kuminga is out with a knee injury, Onyeka Okongwu has a finger injury and Dyson Daniels also out with a toe injury. All three are projected to return March 30 for their matchup with the Celtics.

Sunday the Kings will take on the Brooklyn Nets looking for a win after beating the Nets last Sunday in a close one 126-122. Tipoff for that game is scheduled for 3:00 PM.

Kings Fall To Magic in the Final Seconds 121-117

Orlando Magic forward Pablo Banchero (5) holds onto the ball against the Sacramento Kings forward Precious Achiuwa (9) in the first half at the Kia Center in Orlando on Thu Mar 26, 2026 (AP News photo)

By Barbara Mason

The Sacramento Kings (19-55) rallied in the fourth quarter of their game with the Orlando Magic (39-34) letting the game slip away in the final 50 seconds of the game. Despite the 121-117 loss DeMar DeRozan had a stellar game finishing with 33 points which was the game high. Every starter in the game had double figures with the Kings coming up just short in this one.

The Magic are tied for ninth place with the Charlotte Hornets in the Eastern Conference going into this game and they are a half game out of the eighth spot. Thursday night’s game is crucial for the Magic. The Magic took to the court without Anthony Black who averages 15 points per game and Franz Wagner who averages 21 points per game so they will be missed. Both are expected to play in Sunday’s game against the Raptors.

The Magic got on top of the Kings in the opening quarter leading after the first 12 minutes of play 39-30. Sacramento made up some of the deficit in the second quarter outscoring the Magic 29-26 but were still trailing by six points at the half 65-59.

The Kings got after it in the third quarter outscoring the Magic 31-28 trailing by three points going into the fourth quarter 93-90. Sacramento was still very much in this game after three quarters.

DeRozan was having a terrific game and with six minutes left he had scored 29 points and had five rebounds and six assists. A minute into the quarter this game was tied at 93. At 8:49 the game was again tied at 95.

At that point the Magic started to inch away and with 5:57 on the clock Orlando had a ten point lead. Too many missed three’s by the Kings in the final quarter hurt; they were 11 of 28. With so much on the line Orlando continued to pull away in the final minutes.

The Kings attempted a rally with four minutes left in the game pulling to within six points 109-103. Fouls in the final quarter were hurting Sacramento but despite that with 50 ticks left on the clock it was a one-point game 116-115 and with 20 seconds left in the game the Magic had a two-point lead 119-117.

The Kings Malik Monk fouled Desmond Bane who made both free throws. A three-point attempt by Monk missed and that was the game with the Magic prevailing 121-117.

The Kings put out a great effort with DeRozan scoring the game high with 33 points and 11 assists. Daeqwon Plowden had 23 points off the bench. Every Sacramento starter had double figures. Precious Achiuwa and Devin Carter each scored fourteen points, Malik Monk with 13 and Maxime Raynaud with ten points. The Kings had great ball protection and reeled in the turnovers, and were also solid from the line. They came up just short in a very close finish.

Paolo Banchero had the Magic’s high finishing with 30 points and Desmond Bane had 23 points.

The Kings came close in the final seconds of this game and will now play another road game facing the Eastern Conferences’ fifth place team the Atlanta Hawks. Tipoff for that game is scheduled for Saturday night 4:30 PM.

Sacramento Kings podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

#1 How will Devin Carter’s scoring efficiency impact the Kings’ chances against Orlando, given he’s averaging around 19 points per game this season?

#2 Will Maxime Raynaud be able to dominate the boards and facilitate the offense against Orlando’s frontcourt?

#3 What role will Russell Westbrook play in controlling the tempo and distributing the ball for Sacramento in this matchup?

#4 Can DeMar DeRozan create enough offense in isolation to break down the Magic’s defense, especially late in the game?

#5 How much scoring support can players like Malik Monk provide off the bench to complement the Kings’ primary scorers?

Kings Crushed By Hornets In Forgettable Game 134-90; Charlotte gets fourth straight win

Charlotte Hornets guard LeMelo Ball (1) takes a jump shot against the Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (left) in the first half at Golden 1 in Sacramento on Tue Mar 24, 2026 (AP News photo)

By Barbara Mason

It wasn’t pretty! The Sacramento Kings (19-54) were demolished by the Charlotte Hornets (37-34) 134-90. They did come into this game even more beat-up then ever with Russell Westbrook still out, and Nique Clifford and Killian Hayes injured last Sunday.

The Hornets were on fire from beyond the arc draining 26 and many of those three’s were second chance shots. With the playoffs at stake the Hornets had a palpable goal in their sites and they could not be stopped.

Game recap: The Hornets are fighting to move into playoff position. They are currently in tenth place but they are a half game behind the ninth place Heat and a game behind the eighth place Magic.

They certainly have a great chance to make the playoffs making Tuesday night’s game a critical one for Charlotte. Playing at home and with so much at stack they will be tough to contain. They have won their past three games and they are really playing like a playoff bound team right now. They are a three-point shooting team and the Kings will also have that to contend with.

The Hornets came out with a vengence leading after the first 12 minutes of play 34-25 and they were just getting started. It was like a runaway freight train that continued to pick up speed as the game wore on. There was no stopping the Hornets outscoring the Kings in the second quarter 38-22 taking a 72-47 lead at the half.

The Hornets continued their onslaught in the third quarter picking up where they left at the finish of the first half. They outscored Sacramento 41-29. Trailing by so much this game was decided in the third quarter.

The Hornets were on fire from beyond the arc and four of their starters had double digits going into the fourth quarter. Bench player Coby White could not be stopped scoring 27 points after only 18 minutes of play. Charlotte came unleashed from beyond the arc draining 23 triples with over seven minutes left in the game.

At 7:04 left on the clock, the Hornets were leading 124-82. They had punished the Kings in every quarter of this lop-sided game. Sacramento had been beat up offensively and defensively.

The Hornets were closing in on a season high for three’s, their highest 26 and with almost six minutes left in the game they had already drained 24. With two minutes left in the game Charlotte had tied their season high from beyond the arc.

While the Hornets did not break their record for three’s in the game, they certainly made a statement as to their push towards a playoff berth. The final in this game was 134-90 with their largest lead 46 points.

This was sheer disappointment for the Sacramento Kings and a game that they need to put behind them. They struggled from start to finish getting outscored in every quarter. Daeqwon Plowden had the high for the Kings with 22 points. Devin Carter finished with 18 points and Maxime Raynaud with 16 points. The Hornets had their way with Sacramento defensively and offensively.

The high for this game came off the Charlotte bench with Coby White scoring 27 points in only 18 minutes of play, and collectively the Hornet bench scored 61 points. Four of the Hornet starters had double figures. LaMelo Ball had 20 points and Moussa Diabate had a double double, 17 points and 11 rebounds. The Hornets have now won four games in a row.

Game notes: After getting back on the winning track beating the Brooklyn Nets 126-122 on Sunday the Kings headed to Charlotte and took on the Hornets on Tuesday night. While the Kings did win their last game it did come at a cost when both Nique Clifford and Killian Hayes were injured in the game.

Clifford suffered a left ankle injury in the game limping off the court in the fourth quarter. It has been reported that he has a left mid-foot sprain after just returning in the Nets game after a hamstring injury. Killian Hayes was also injured in that game due to a toe injury.

Of course the Kings will not see a post-season but these continued injuries rob the younger players of precious time and experience. Veteran Russell Westbrook was out for the Hornets game with right foot soreness after having missed the Nets game.

Malik Monk and Devin Carter will no doubt see increased backcourt roles in Westbrook’s absence. Precious Achiuwa who has been outstanding is also out with lower back soreness. And so go the injuries for the Sacramento Kings.

Thursday night the Kings travel to Orlando for a matchup with the Orlando Magic. Hopefully the Kings will get some of their injured players back on the court trying to shake off Tuesday night’s game. Tipoff for that game is scheduled for 4:00 PM.
